    You have no opposition party in America, your two party system also is a huge problem. In this way fascism will always win.

      Exactly. And you have people like me who refused to vote for Democrats because while they might not be as horrible as Donald Trump, there is still too much wrong with them for me to support them. I get called a Tankie bot whether I don’t vote or I vote third-party so fuck the DNC

        Except why does that vote have to mean that you support them and not that you don’t support the even worse people. If we may never be able to vote again and may never have another ruler besides dictator don Will that have been worth the moral high ground?

          Participating in an election means you are agreeing to abide by the outcome of the election. By not participating you are protesting and saying I not recognise the legitimacy of this process.

            Something i’d like to ask is what did you expect but legitimately. And what are you doing to fix it you cant have a plan for having the betterment of a problem like in Gaza it fail cause both of the two known and only voteable options are genociders then choose to do nothing and that be the entire plan right. Assumedly your forming groups, protesting, pushing for reform not JUST non voting and sitting being a key board warrior right?

              Gaza is not a problem to me. I honestly don’t give a shit.

              I don’t want anything except to be left alone, and neither party seems to be capable of doing that

            Inaction IS an action the only choice for non voting is ignorance OR confidence your actions will lead to an outcome that involves a new party entering or reforming. But again the issue is KNOWINGLY If trump won everyone said and knew we would be losing our rights and democracy and ANY chance to vote for someone much more reasonable so now there will be no process for you to not recognize I guess.

              Barack “I’ve got a pen, and I’ve got a phone.” Obama shows the same attitude from the other side.

              It’s more palatable, but it’s still the same oppressive bullshit

      Correct. This is a major problem. The point is that it wasn’t made by the people, and the few of us who understand how problematic it is can’t simply make a new party and have it be successful. That doesn’t fix the two party system. America is a shit show, but some of us are doing what we can, and that isn’t enough but that’s not our faults.

        Exactly, so why are you blaming people if its not our faults? You are the one debating in defense of blaming people, voters, and non voters alike.
